So, I was recently reminded that Jupiter Ascending was a thing, and I tried watching it. Well, I did, I watched the whole thing. And I was going to call it a big bucket of nonsense, and leave it at that, but ...

( ... that didn't really do it justice. )

So, I saw Guardians of the Galaxy. And ... it was kind of rubbish. Which might not surprise anyone who was around for my reaction to The Avengers, my baseline assessment of which -

the good: it wasn't bad. It was shiny and kaboomy and, uh, shiny, and it got the job done, picked us up at A and delivered us firmly to B. There were moments, genuine ( Read more... )

I have a fic bunny that I need to exorcise.

And I don't really have time for this, but it's a bunny that's been treating my brain like its own personal hutch for quite some time. It's not a particularly troublesome tenant but it refuses to leave. And at this point I just want it out.

But there's just enough apathy in me that I can't quite justify ( Read more... )

Look, let's just get this out of the way, shall we? I'm not that fond of Joss Whedon. I don't know if it's still cult-chic to LOVE his work, or if it's too mainstream for any self-respecting nerd to like anymore, or whether it's gone full circle to rediscovering his GENIUS now that everyone's panning him. I don't know where we are on the ( Read more... )

Recently needing some escapist brain-candy, and, as a result of some comments with bitterlimetwist, having a Timothy Olyphant jones (although Timothy Olyphant alone is enough for that sort of thing to occur), I succumbed to watching the back half of Justified S1. Following my less-than-enamoured response to the pilot, my desultory watching of episodes got me to ( Read more... )

Once more, the weekend it turning out busier than it should, although in this case it's because of AWESOME because some friends and I will be getting out of the city to a big old house with a very nice projector and having a Lord of the Rings marathon. Extended versions, of course. And cooking and eating wonderfully tasty and fattening Fall/hobbit ( Read more... )

(I know it's not Friday night, when these things are supposed to happen, but I was away.)

I loved the episode. Jared and Jensen continue to blow me away and make me love Sam and Dean more than ever, the bald shiny-headed guys are both a lot of fun, and our favourite bad boy's involvement is a great twist if for no other reason than we get more of ( Read more... )

Another short list. Not a very interesting one, though. Now, if they'd said "an episode that grossed you out", that might be harder, if not any more interesting.

( Day 16 - An episode that scared you )

Okay, I'm off (at very early in the morning) to drive back to school. I may post tomorrow, or I might not, depending on internet access. But I've done the next one as a double-whammy anyway, so we're still on track.

Don't panic.

( Day 6 - Your least favourite episode )

This one at least was a little bit easier. I don't usually spend much time talking about "least favourite", because part of the reason something is worthy of being my least favourite is that I'm just not interested in it. Hence, I don't dwell on it. But I did my best. And, luckily, I enjoy the inhabitants of SPNverse enough that there was a ( Read more... )
